I read somewhere on teh innrnetz that giraffes are one of the very few mammals incapable of swimming. I then read a well-worded rebuttal. To you of course this is hearsay, and the issue is completely cloudy. Swim on, evil giraffes- swim on; or drown.

Many primate species cannot swim, I believe.

Can giraffes swim? Even in the deep end of the pool, they don't have to.
